Re: Starting my self-coaching journey

I think as a playable compliment, working on the top of the swing might be easier. But as you said earlier, as long as you avoid ulnar deviation, you'll have to deal with balancing the compensations. So I'll try a slightly different image, If you lo…

Glad to hear it's working better for the short irons.

Remember, the goal of this site is to help you learn to be your own coach so that you can make small changes and fix things on the course and save rounds from getting too far off course. So, as…

Re: Trail shoulder goes internal?

  By: Tyler F on July 28, 2022, 9:34 p.m.

When I've talked to people who write the code for the systems, they all say shoulders and shoulder blade movements is really hard to measure. So no one has done a great job of presenting quality shoulder data. Also, for me, the purpose of understand…

Re: Lag putts

  By: Tyler F on July 28, 2022, 9:20 p.m.

Are you saying that most of your lag putts come up short?

I think that there are two things to look at with your speed control. 1 - you have some extra lower body rotation through impact. That adds a little extra and typically makes speed control m…

Happy to help when I can, Bud, I hope you're seeing some more consistency this week.

Re: Ball flight question

  By: Tyler F on July 24, 2022, 1:49 p.m.

Hi Scott,

I think the advent of the ProV made it more possible to play a straight ball flight. The problem with the straight ball flight is usually the dispersion is more of a forked miss pattern. If the path is straight, if the face is open then …

In the video on unhinging, I talk about the unhinge moving the club downward and the body rotation moving it outward. So they balance to help create the swing plane. Since yours is steep, you need more up and down movement to be "on plane". Your two…

Hey bud,

Since you said it's fine on 30 yards and then gets worse on the longer swings, we should definitely look at what happens on the longer swings. What I see with the swings you posted is a number of good things:
The swing plane isn't too bad…

Re: Starting my self-coaching journey

Can you post a video of you trying the unhinge? as well as the presetting it? It'll be helpful to see the difference.

But yes, your question (I don't understand how to apply force in an almost perpendicular direction once the club has speed). The …

Some fixes are quick, some take time. But the way to own your game, and be your own coach, is to understand what the changes actually did to improve. So in order to suggest more drills, we have to know which problem we are trying to fix. So what is …

Re: Driver help?

Toe hits often come from pulling away from the golf ball. This can come from the arms or the body. But one thing to always check is set up. You're setting up quite a bit on the toe, and then it appears you are returning to the same spot around conta…

I think your steepening is primarily a lack of ulnar deviation, but the side bend (aided by the shoulder blade retraction) could help either way. It doesn't appear most golfers get to max retraction, nor stay at the max all the way through the relea…

The moe norman can definitely help, but to answer your question, no the over-the-top move can come from a handful of causes.
The most common causes of over-the-top are:
- Spinning the shoulders instead of turning the hips
- Pulling the left shoulder…

Re: Motorcycle

  By: Tyler F on July 16, 2022, 9:55 a.m.

Hi Scott,
I think it becomes more automatic. I often have students comment on how they no longer feel like they are doing the motorcycle move. But the face is square on video and the ball is no longer slicing. This often happens when we are working …

Re: First Steps?

  By: Tyler F on July 16, 2022, 9:48 a.m.

It's a little blurry on the video, but it looks like you have some decent trail wrist extension. Can you do an impact fix drill, and then follow it up immediately with a 9 to 3? I'd still like to see more separation from your hips and torso (check o…
